The Healing Anointingperson to another. The Word of God says in the 34th chapter of
Deuteronomy that Joshua had the same spirit of wisdom that
Moses had, because Moses had laid his hands on him:
DEUTERONOMY 34:9
9 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for
Moses had laid his hands upon him....
Evidently some of that same spiritual wisdom and power
Moses was anointed with was transferred to Joshua by the laying
on of hands, for the power of God is transferable.
In Luke 10:19, Jesus said to the Seventy: "Behold, I give
unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all
the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt
you." I know the Greek word here is also translated "authority,"
but whether it's authority or literal power, Jesus is sending them
out to do the same works He did: He healed the sick and cast out
devils with the power of God.
Are His disciples going to do these things with human
power? No, if they could do that, they'd already have been doing
it.
Jesus authorized and evidently empowered His disciples to
go out and heal and deliver people. In Mark 9, we see that in
their journeys they ran into a fellow whom Jesus hadn't
empowered, yet he was casting out devils by faith. They forbade
him to do so, and came back and reported this to Jesus.
But Jesus said, "Forbid him not: for there is no man which
shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of
me" (Mark 9:39).
This fellow was casting out spirits in the Name of Jesus, and
he didn't even know Him. He was a stranger to Jesus. Jesus
didn't know him, and He hadn't called him. He hadn't said, "I
authorize you. I give you power." This fellow had been in some
of Jesus' services and he had faith to cast out devils. Notice he
was casting them out through faith. When the disciples
ministered, they did so with the anointing.
You can produce the same results by faith that you can with
